The call will be moderated by BBC News journalist David Eades, and takes place on the eve of the Premier League’s Annual General Meeting. How clubs are dealing with the mounting challenges posed by the global pandemic? What does the future of the game look like?

“Without fans revenues have disappeared and clubs are struggling to survive.

This is a reminder that football without fans is nothing, and engaging with them is key to its success.”
